Re: wanting to relactate

I have been relactating since december. I am currently taking domperdone and make about 12 ounces a day. I only bf my son for 2 weeks and then started relactating at about 5 months. It has been a long process but definately worth it. At the beginning I rented a hospital grade pump and would pump every 3 hours. I would hardly get anything but kept on. Now I get 2 to 3 oz a pump and about 4 to 5 oz when I pump in the morning. I wanted to get my son back to breast and at first I could have but wasn't making enough to keep him interested. Now that I make more he just bites me so I have given up that hope. But it is possible to relactate. Hope that helps if you have any other questions you can PM me. Good luck!

Re: wanting to relactate

Don't feel ridiculous. I wasn't sure how my doctor would be but she was totally supportive. You can also get it off of inhousepharmacy.com. That is where I get mine now. Cheaper than getting here in the states. Fenugreek helps but for me I don't think I would have been very successful without the dom. But thats just me everybody is different. Don't worry about what anybody else thinks you are doing something totally awesome for your baby and that is the most important thing!

Re: wanting to relactate

My son is 6 months old (3 months adjusted...was born at 26 wks) and I'm 16 weeks pregnant. I pumped and gave him breast milk for the first two and a half months of his life. (froze most of it) He never really latched on properly, and I returned to work two weeks before he came home. Now that I'm a SAHM, I would really like to give him breast milk again, along with our new baby due Nov. 10th. Is this possible, and would there be benefits to breastfeeding my son now?
